| AT$T haters How many of you haters actually know what to do with more than 10meg? Seriously, how much porn and stolen MP3s do you guys need? I think you guys won't be happy until you can actually order a gallon of milk and have it delivered thru the DSL connection.
FTTP? who pays for it? How much do you want your bills to increase to support replacing all the copper out here? I touch the stuff (copper) every day and I can attest to the difficulty Verizon is having swapping it all out.
Granted fiber will eventually come, it's inevitable I'm sure. But right now, it's too cost prohibitive. |

1 edit | Verizon's investors are no longer worried about the costs, and they give me better TV service with more channels and more services and a faster internet connection for cheaper than what AT&T is charging for U-Verse... |

I'm happy with my 10 meg connection from TW. More is always better though. Those cliche linux ISOs, software updates and driver packages do keep getting bigger, you know. Ever lost your HP printer disc?
I can, however, tell you exactly what I would do with 4 HD streams. There's four major TV networks and they all conspire to put their best stuff at the same "prime" time slots. quote:

Hard to make that argument when Verizon (the "other" Gorilla in the cage) seems to be pulling it off. |

| Pulling it off, while trying to keep investors happy, they no longer can compete on price, and now cost as much as cable if not a lil more in some areas. |

| Why would a company compete in price when it offers a superior product? |
|
| just because you have a superior product, dosent mean joe consumer will buy it a a premium vs whats currently avail. |

Right now, as you know, just quoting speeds sells.
If you can offer 10-35 meg internet at high prices, maybe the penetration will make sense to support FTTH, providing a path to video and more importantly other services.
Why not price as high as the market will pay at the moment.
This might well be a blip in history in some markets.
